RESEARCH FOCUS
My dissertation, Through Their Eyes: The Experiences of Incarcerated Deaf and Hard of Hearing Individuals and Their Pathways to Incarceration, reflects my commitment to elevating the voices of a population that has been historically overlooked in criminology.
I also conduct research in spatial criminology, examining how crime, place, and environment intersect. My work leverages data to help agencies understand patterns, identify problems, and implement solutions that improve safety and equity.
